Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
